Cutting the mustard
I read the other day that the Philadelphia Phillies are eliminating “Dollar Dog Night” at the ballpark. No more one dollar hot dogs. That sad news inspired me to write this Word of the Day. I hope it cuts the mustard. The Word is “mustard.”
Why do we call it that? It's pretty simple, really. When ancient Romans first crushed up the pungent seeds of the brassica or sinapis plants they would add "must" - from the Latin "mustum," meaning "new wine" (that is, the unfermented juice of crushed grapes) - to make a paste that could be used as a condiment. The Romans called the spicy paste "burning must," or in Latin, "mustum ardens" - or "must ard" for short. The "must" gave its name not only to the condiment, but to the plant itself. Today, the "must" used to make mustard has almost universally been replaced with vinegar.
I'm not exactly sure what the ancient Roman equivalent of a hot dog tasted like, but I'll bet the ancient mustard was delicious.

Tongue Control Spell (2)
Sometimes someone’s inclination to talk may be an undesirable aggravation, or indeed the very crux of a problem. The following spell offers protection from negative testimony. It also allegedly confuses witnesses scheduled to testify against you.
Blend and powder five-finger grass and brown mustard seeds.
Mix this powder with Confusion Oil.
Carve a brown candle to suit the target or situation and dress it with this oil.
Write your opponent’s name nine times on a square of brown paper. (Each opponent gets [their] own piece of paper.)
Cover the names with your own, saying: “I cross you, I command you, I compel you to [name your desire].”
(from The Element Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells by Judika Illes)

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9
“Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” - Psalm 107:8-9
This may lose me some followers, it may gain me some, either way I’m tired of being lukewarm in my faith and not proclaiming the goodness of my God. I will keep posting my usual nerdy stuff, but I also want to start bringing in some more works to shine His light.

Some grass orchids with a stray bamboo growing in the middle, symbolizing both feminine and masculine grace.
Part of my ongoing digital restoration of the Kaishien Gaden/Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting, a 400 year old book on Chinese ink painting that was later adapted by and added to by the Japanese. It's one of the earliest examples we have of mass produced color printing, and as such, lends itself perfectly to vector.

Eye of Newt was popularised as a 'magical' ingredient by Shakespeare's Macbeth. It appears as one of many ingredients listed in the witches' song:
"In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog"
In fact, eye of newt does not refer to the part of an animal, but is instead a euphemism, referring to the seeds of the mustard plant.

Is love the most powerful thing in the universe? Is desire the most exquisite agony?
